#otd 76 years ago, little Tania Szabo is presented with her mother Violette’s #GeorgeCross at Buckingham Palace.
#VioletteSzabo, one of the best known of the female special operations executive agents, did not return from occupied-France on her second mission.
Second photo shows Tania pointing to her mother’s name on the memorial at #Tempsford, from where she was flown out.
Last photo show Tania and me with Bob Large, the pilot who flew Violette neck after her first mission, dodging flak en route.
The last name on the memorial, #ElżbietaZawacka, is the real name of #AgentZo, the subject of my next book…
